My First Fourth of July

During our trip to Pennsylvania, we celebrated the Fourth of July!! Although I was not able to partake in most of the yummy food that people celebrate the summer holiday with, I did enjoy spending time at Grammie and Gramps' camp. By the end of the day I was exhausted because there was a lot of open grass area where I could just walk around and enjoy myself. I could walk up to someone, they would hug me, then I would walk off and explore something else. We took family pictures as well, but I wasn't too thrilled about it. I made sure everyone knew it by screaming!

Maaaaaaa!

In addition to celebrating my first Independence Day on our trip to Pennsylvania, we visited some fun places, one being the Farmer's Inn. I got to see a lot of cool animals that we have read about in books. The goats really liked talking to me, so I would talk back to them, trying to mimic their annoying wails. The baby goats were cute though. Cora named a deer Adam when it started following her around after she fead it. After we saw the animals we went to a playground where I had fun with Gramps and climbing around all the fun wooden trucks.

Back at home I have been practicing some new words along with feeding myself. I haven't gotten too far with either of those activities, but it's coming slowly. I have attempted to say banana, baby, and poop, but they don't come out very clearly. I've got the word Daddy down and I still just smile when mommy tries to make me say "Mommy." I have been able to eat yogurt once on my own, but that was a fluke and I much prefer someone feeding it to me instead. Over time, I will get the hang of things - like my sippy cup. I started getting juice and water in it a few weeks ago and I finally know how to use it now with little choking. Now I just gulp out of it because I love the taste of juice!
I have also mastered sitting in the comfy chair - I am really good at climbing in and out of it, and I sometimes enjoy sitting in it and relaxing for a bit!
